Collierville Literacy Council (CLC) was founded in 1987 by a group of volunteers who saw the imperative need in our community for an Adult Basic Education / Literacy Program. In the years since its conception, CLC has expanded to include personalized tutoring services for adults who are preparing to earn their HiSET diploma, and for students who wish to become English Language Learners (ELL).

As a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, CLC provides its services to the community with only a small registration and assessment fee.

In 2012, CLC received Accreditation from ProLiteracy America.

As an affiliate of ProLiteracy America, CLC offers nationally approved training through certified instructors for all of our volunteer tutors. We welcome individuals from all backgrounds who wish to volunteer as tutors, office staff, or in other areas as their talents lead them.

Collierville Literacy Council's primary funding comes from the United Way of the Mid-South and the Town of Collierville, along with donations from local businesses and individuals. We invite you to learn how you can make tax-deductible contributions that will enable us to continue to provide and expand our programs.
